On this gorgeous Friday evening I was sitting on my front porch with my dog, enjoying a drink in the sunshine. It’s so quiet. The odd vehicle goes by. Sure it is quieter than town, but as of lately, its eerily serene. As a true introvert I was completely welcoming of the slow down toContinue reading “Just Breathe”

A Patience Reminder

Earlier today I heard the radio announcer say that we were in a rainfall warning with up to 25mm of rain. I instantly went negative. The rain, and alot of it, is still a big trigger for me. The more I’ve learned about PTSD, the more dots Ive connected. We have all been through highsContinue reading “A Patience Reminder”

I Can’t Re-Heat Them | Pierogies

The other night we made home made pierogies! They were SO good. We have some more testing and tweaking to do, but for a formerly non-Baker this felt SO liberating!

Unlock Your Happiness

My family and I just spent a few days away together. It was really interesting because I totally felt myself level up in what I now expect to be standard accomodations when we go away.

After an amazingly hot weekend away at a family cottage, swimming, boating, fishing, water skiiing, swan floating lol on the 5 hour ride home I ran into trouble with my tummy and this statement was NOT what my hubby wanted to hear!

Listening to myself | The buffet weekend

Embracing my entire life – all the good and bad – one thing that I loved doing when I was younger was writing. Even simply in a journal, or poetry about my life and emotions. A part of me, I lost in my later high school years and have only begun to recently find again.Continue reading “Listening to myself | The buffet weekend”
